Tell us a bit about yourself and your farm.
My family and I co-own and operate a multi-site dairy farm in Western Wisconsin. Together with my wife, our four kids, our farm team and business partners, we manage day-to-day herd care, cropping enterprise and overall business strategy. We take a lot of pride in running a modern dairy operation that’s grounded in both stewardship and family values.
Tell us why you are committed to the organization and what it means to your farm.
Edge gives independent dairy producers a strong and unified voice where it matters. We have proactive representation on policy, market access and regulatory issues with goals of long-term stability in the dairy industry. I am committed to Edge because the organization consistently advocates to keep dairy farms competitive in an evolving marketplace.
What are you currently enjoying the most in your role on the board, and what are you looking forward to in the months ahead?
What I enjoy most is collaborating with fellow producers from across the region who also share a commitment to the future of our industry. Also, I enjoy my time with other board members who bring different perspectives and experiences that help drive forward-thinking decisions. This is true not only for the cooperative but also in their own businesses and communities. Looking ahead, I’m ready to build on our advocacy efforts and help keep Edge positioned as a trusted leader for dairy farm families.
